Santa Lucia Camping Fee Policies for 2014 (simplified)

Rates are listed here for our two group sites. The group rates apply regardless of the size of your group, but the group may not exceed the maximum capacity of either campground. The capacity of the lower campground is seventy-five campers, while Paul’s Meadow has a capacity of twenty-five campers.

Site use: We are inviting Christian churches to have youth and parish summer camping and retreat experiences at Santa Lucia. We are encouraging campers to be with us who share our values and will respect our property, the environment, and the people of Big Sur. We want to see Christ glorified in our love of all that he has created as we maintain the natural beauty of the land entrusted to us.

Group Reservations: Will be allowed in the month that is one year from the month the booking is sought. For example, if you want to reserve a place for the month of June 2015, you may book it any time after June 1, 2014, but not before. Please call Santa Lucia Campground @ 831-667-2310 or email Caretaker@AllSaintsCarmel.org.

Payments: All bookkeeping for the campground will be handled by All Saints’ parish bookkeeper. All payments are to be made out to All Saints’ Church; please include in the memo your group name and the dates that you are using the campground.

In order to confirm a booking, a 50% (one half of the entire fee) deposit will be required. Until the fee is received, your campsite is not reserved. Should another person contact us requesting that same time, we will extend a courtesy to you by phoning or e-mailing to inquire if you are still interested. If so, you will need to pay the deposit electronically or send a check via next-day mail. Payment in full is required one month prior to the date of use. As a courtesy a reminder invoice will be emailed. If full payment is not received the reservation will be cancelled and the deposit becomes non-refundable.

Cancellations: will be permitted up to one month before the booked date. If the date of your reservation is June 4, then we must receive your cancellation by May 4. On May 5 and thereafter, your deposit becomes non-refundable. Please call Santa Lucia Campground @ 831-667-2310 or email Caretaker@AllSaintsCarmel.org.

Paul’s Meadow is intended for use by members of All Saints’ Church. However, in the event that the meadow is not booked, it may become available for booking for individuals and small groups without affiliation or membership at All Saints’. For details and availability of Paul’s Meadow, please speak to the campground registrar.

Any additional questions, please do not hesitate to call the Camp Host at Santa Lucia Campgrounds and Chapel 831-667-2310 or email Caretaker@AllSaintsCarmel.org.

Note: This post does not change the rates and policies as described in an earlier post, it merely attempts to explain them in a simpler and clearer manner.
